FutureSox All Prospect Team: Pitchers

By Josh Wolff

 

With the acquisition of thumper Jim Thome, the Sox not only had to trade fan favorite Aaron Rowand, but also top pitching prospects Gio Gonzalez and Daniel Haigwood. The Sox still have 2005 first round pick Lance Broadway and Ray Liotta, but the pitching depth has been decimated. Bobby Jenks and Brandon McCarthy did not qualify as prospects for this team...MORE

Jason, is Josh Wolff your new alter ego?

 

Logan is on here based on a few ST games this year.

 

I'd say its a bit far fetched to take these performances and then put him on your all-prospect team.

 

Other than that, good stuff.

Wolff is a new writer, but he's spot on when it comes to Logan. Its more a knock on the system as it is a test to how good logan is. That said I've heard some good things of late when it comes to him.

 

I've never seen him play though, but this team has zero lefty relievers candidates in the minors (he may just be the best we got).

Good stuff, hopefully I'll have a column ready by the time you get back from ST.

 

Have a good time.

 

BTW, how long do you have to keep up Dee Brown as your sig?

Dee can come down any time, but he won't. He's my new hero. He's the anti Rally Crede for Illini fans. :D

Interesting, I actually put them in my Final Four.

 

I had 4 Big 10 teams in the Elite 8. :P

That means you have Iowa past Texas? Or is Iowa the one that doesn't go and IU/MSU/ILL/OSU are your 4.

 

But I'd recommend taking Ill down from there, Washington will knock em out in the 2nd round. I like Ill a lot, but I actually like Washington. Than again I'm the lone person on this site who doesn't have Midwest or East Coast bias :D

Had MSU out to UNC. The other 4 I had. I saw Washington a lot this year, but I still think ILL is better simply because I think Dee Brown plays big in big games. And what games are bigger than the NCAA tourney? Overall I think the Pac-10 blows besides UCLA which I did put in the Final Four in one of my brackets.

 

Yes, I do have Iowa past Texas then losing to Duke.

My take is the winner of Iowa/Texas (if Iowa gets there) makes the final 4. As much as I love my boys, I picked Texas. That said I feel Iowa's capable, but they have a tough draw and will be playing two tougher teams early on (just to get to that point). I'm pumped though, this is the best Hawks team in a while.

 

As far as Ill, they are definately battle tested, I jsut see Augestine getting into foul trouble against Washington's athletes and when he gets into foul trouble, Ill is going to have some trouble. However I realize I'm picking against the defensive team, I just happen to think Washington is a tough matchup for the Illini.

 

I have UCLA out to Memphis (I think thats who it is) but I'm leaning hard to putting them in the final 4. I really like this UCLA squad.
